Not accepting new clients until 5/2026. I am a board-certified psychiatric-mental health nurse practitioner providing person-centered, holistic care for adolescents & adults (15+). I value authenticity & take a compassionate, collaborative approach to supporting individuals on their mental health journey, using evidence-based medication management and therapeutic techniques. I am Neurodivergent & LGBTQIA-identifying, & proudly affirm these identities in my work. My goal is to create a warm, inclusive space where you feel seen, respected, & supported. Together, we’ll develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs & goals.
I treat a wide range of mental health conditions, with a focus on OCD, mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, and substance use. I also support folks with ADHD and I offer neuro-affirming adult autism assessments utilizing the MIGDAS-2. Please visit my website for more details.
I am currently in network with Aetna, Cigna, Optum, Oscar, Oxford, and United. To learn more about me and my practice, please visit my website. Wherever you are on your mental health journey, you're not alone—reach out today to get the support you deserve.
